Clouds and Augurs

I wish that I could sing you Gypsy lies
and give you hope,
like phony mystics spangle glamor
over common tragedy.

But my Delphic dreams are true.
Songs are forgotten.
Every story ends

and epics bore the gods.

Nan (Pilgrim variety)

Yo dear Pilgrimage,

This is a fascinating poem for me.  My late Mother-in-law was very good with tea leaves, and life lines.  She was a wonderful, wise woman, and I miss her.

Love Bobby

You have made your point in such a refined way ... I think the gods will keep an eye on you!

Love,

Nan, that is a very sophisticated piece of writing.

May their story end peacefully.

~ and may your future Delphi dreams be portents of good things to come.



Love & Eternal Light,

Linda

Pilgrimage - I'd listen to a Gyspy song anytime. Nice writing...
